Momma Gets a TT After 4 C-sections and Weight Loss!

It’s been a year since the original tummy tuck, but I’ve had two revisions. I don’t regret it one bit! I have so much more confidence, and I love my new body. The only funny thing is I have what I call “phantom belly.” After I work out I go to clean under my belly pouch so I don’t get an infection or after my shower I go to dry off my under belly, when I realize I don’t have it anymore. Hahaha! It was worth every penny!! The only thing that bothers me are my back rolls. Even with the lipo, they didn’t go away, which is frustrating, but eh. I am working out doing HIIT 4 days a week and cardio 6 days a week. I am determined to rid me of the rolls! I am finding it is much much easier to tone my abs and am loving that, but I also show a lot more when I’m bloated. The scar is fading ever so nicely and I love my belly button! Dr. Swail did an absolutely amazing job and I’ll forever be grateful that after 4 c-sections, I look and feel as confident and beautiful as I do! No more hiding behind my clothes!!

I can’t believe that it has been almost a year! The hole closed up perfectly, they told me to put tape on it and sure enough, it closed right up. I was doing great, eating healthy, working out, and was looking and feeling fabulous. Then the holidays came and we went on a Christmas vacation. Sadly, I have gained 18lbs. I’m so sad!! But once I got home a couple weeks ago, I started working out and eating better. I’ve lost 7lbs and am hoping to lose the rest in the next month. I am frustrated with my love handles and back fat, but my tummy makes me feel so confident! I went in for a checkup a couple months ago and they told me that I’ve officially graduated! I’m all done, just my one year post op on the 27th of January left! Woot woot!

I have a hole at the end of my incision, super lame!! It isn’t infected or anything, so that’s good! I emailed the office and they said as long as it isn’t infected, to keep it taped up. I think I did too much twisting and stretching while on vacation, but I have no clue. I did put on a butterfly bandaid as well. Ugh, I’m so sad, but I’m sure it will close up soon! I am just trying to be extra careful right now. PS, I think the darkness is from the marker used to outline where they were going to cut.
